Night of Reunion

January 27, 2014 By Kellie 1 Comment

Night of Reunion by Michael Allegretto

Night of Reunion by Michael Allegretto is a gripping sleeping thriller about a psychotic murderess who comes back to claim her son once again after giving him up for adoption.

Christine Helstrum — escaped mental asylum patient and murderer plots her way to finish the unfinished.  She believes her son is still alive and living with Alex.  A thrilling stalker-tale where the psychotic killer plays cat and mouse.

I enjoyed reading Night of Reunion by Michael Allegretto.  Allegretto masterfully builds suspense and gives readers a few big chilling events before the finale.  The ending was one I didn’t entirely see coming.  I loved the fact that this book had unpredictable moments and was not a typical stalker-tale.

Sometimes, the story moved too slowly for my taste and there were some moments within the book where I found myself getting frustrated with the main characters.  Of course, that is all part of being a reader as we are privy to information that the main characters are not.  Still — some of those moments seemed like obvious “aha” moments that might have helped move the plot along a bit faster.

All in all, Night of Reunion did what I hoped it would — and that is that it provided a solid suspenseful plot and psychotic villain!

My Rating for Night of Reunion:

3-star
